Reminds me of my winter days in Pittsburgh, but there would be no bus. Rather, picture a streetcar and streetcar rails your car would always get stuck in and streetcar wires crisscrossing above the roads.

Ruthie, I am really sorry for you with all that snow! Here in British Columbia all the spring flowers are up, also the Japanese Cherry blossoms. It was 20 degrees celcius on Wednesday at noon.
However, I must not sound smug! We lived in St. John’s, Newfoundland, for 25 years and sometimes had to emply a front end loader just to make room for our car at the end of the drive. We sympathize with you and yours’! We have been there.
